Adventures by Disney 2027: Thailand, Croatia & Slovenia, and Sicily & Amalfi Coast
Adventures by Disney is expanding its lineup for 2027 with two brand-new land itineraries -- one sweeping through Thailand and another crossing Croatia and Slovenia -- plus a reimagined take on the beloved Sicily & Amalfi Coast journey. These trips blend cultural immersion, guided expertise, and unforgettable scenery, all without the stress of planning every detail yourself.
What Is Adventures by Disney?
Adventures by Disney offers fully guided vacations to destinations around the world, led by Adventure Guides who bring Disney-level storytelling and service to every step of the trip. Each itinerary includes special access to local sites, hands-on cultural experiences, and seamless logistics, so the focus stays on exploring and making memories. Families travel together, and dedicated programming ensures every age group has something meaningful to look forward to.
Thailand: 10 Days of Culture, Nature, and Coastline
This brand-new itinerary kicks off in Bangkok, where the grandeur of the Grand Palace and the ancient city of Ayutthaya set the tone for a trip deeply rooted in history and tradition. A private klong boat cruise through Bangkok's historic canals offers a quieter, more intimate look at daily life in this endlessly dynamic city.
Heading north to Chiang Mai, the pace shifts. Hands-on cooking experiences and time at a local tea garden connect travelers to Thailand's agricultural roots and regional flavors in a way that feels genuinely personal.
A visit to an Asian elephant sanctuary ranks among the most meaningful moments of the trip. Through guided observation, education, and a canopy walk, the experience sheds light on the conservation efforts behind protecting these incredible animals.
Trip Highlight: Phang Nga Bay
Exploring Phang Nga Bay by boat and guided kayak, where towering limestone formations rise from emerald waters and hidden lagoons make for one of Thailand's most striking coastal experiences.
Croatia & Slovenia: 8 Days Across Two Stunning Countries
This brand-new itinerary opens in Ljubljana, Slovenia's charming capital, where costumed storytellers lead a guided tour of Ljubljana Castle and bring centuries of history to life against a backdrop of mountains and medieval architecture.
At Lake Bled, travelers glide across glimmering alpine waters aboard a traditional pletna boat to reach an island sanctuary with roots stretching back to the seventh century. A light hike to Velika Planina, a centuries-old herdsmen's settlement, rounds out the Slovenian leg with a rare glimpse into a way of life still tied closely to the land.
In Croatia, Dubrovnik takes center stage. Multiple days here allow time to explore the city's famous fortified walls, sample locally sourced cuisine, and unwind on the nearby Elaphiti Islands, where clear waters and island scenery capture the relaxed rhythm of Adriatic coastal life.
Trip Highlight: Dubrovnik by Kayak
Kayaking along Dubrovnik's ancient city walls before crossing to Lokrum Island offers a perspective on one of Europe's most iconic cities that most visitors never get to see.
Italy: Sicily & Amalfi Coast -- A Reimagined Favorite
A reimagined Adventures by Disney itinerary builds on a guest favorite with thoughtful updates -- new destinations, enhanced pacing, or added experiences -- while honoring what made it special in the first place. This eight-day journey through southern Italy is exactly that.
Sicily anchors the first half of the trip, with a guided experience on Mount Etna taking travelers across vast lava fields and lava tubes. In Taormina, the ancient Teatro Greco offers sweeping views of the Ionian Sea alongside a powerful sense of the region's deep history. A private Sicilian puppet show followed by a hands-on workshop with a master puppeteer rounds out Sicily's cultural highlights beautifully.
Along the Amalfi Coast, a pasta-making class in Gragnano (Italy's self-proclaimed pasta capital) and a ceramics workshop in Vietri sul Mare connect travelers to local artisan traditions in the most delicious and tactile ways.
Trip Highlight: Herculaneum
Walking through Herculaneum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site preserved beneath the ash of Mount Vesuvius, is one of those rare travel experiences that genuinely stops people in their tracks. Ancient streets, intact mosaics, and frozen-in-time details make this one of Italy's most remarkable archaeological sites.
